Narrative:

A tug crossed in front of our aircraft while we were taxiing in to gate X. Passed from right to left about 100 ft in front of our aircraft at about 25 mph. Our taxi light was off as we were under the control of a marshaller who witnessed the event as well. The incident was reported to ATC ground control and station operations.
